Cellink Reviews

IMPULSIVE DECISIONS FROM MANAGERS TERRIBLE SALARY/COMP HIGH CHURN W CUSTOMERS & EMPLOYEES. THEY LEAVE AFTER 1 YEAR, NOT GOOD FOR LONG TERM When I accepted a sales position, I thought I was going to be working for a mature technology company that cared about its employees. I was lied to, mislead and found myself working for 45k an year in an unstructured sales team with no proper leadership. Toxic workplace, passive aggressive managers with no respect for personal life. Management has no vision and no strategy for growth Lack of transparency. Be careful of voicing your concerns. They will let you go if they see that you have any concerns. They just want you to be a puppet Compensation is low, not competitive to other companies in the same area Upper management doesn't trust their own people, when they want something, they acquire new companies. -Upper management doesn't care about the people Health Insurance is expensive, HR is a joke, DO NOT TRUST HR, THEY DO NOT HAVE YOUR BACK, HR’s favorite saying is "But here in Sweden, it is this way" Stock Options are non-existent, you have to wait 3 years to be able to own stocks Company Culture is nonexistent, Management does nothing to promote culture or hold events for employees. All of Sweden office takes PTO same time, in the summer shutting down operations for 2 weeks. Promotions are based on your spending time with, its an good ol’ boys club mentality, you have to suck up to Erik G, Hector M and Gusten to move up.

As others have also mentioned, cellink is a company that is young and became too big too quickly. Management make poor, impulsive decisions based on short term goals, and they end up releasing products that look flashy but are functionally bricked. Another reviewer said that HR's favorite statement is "in Sweden we do it like this" and that is 100% true. It's a massive problem when most of your employees have to fight with HR for "little" things like a livable wage or working less that 10 hour days. The work culture is awful. There is no respect for personal time. Employees are pushed into whatsapp groups that constantly ping night and day. If you are told to drop everything and make something happen you better do it, even if it's the weekend, and even though overtime pay doesn't exist. Management is full of micromanaging egoists who only care about $$$ for their shareholders. The recent expansion at cellink has seen middle managers inserted everywhere. It's a common enough problem, but there is such a poor company structure that it's impossible to get anything done. Also forget upward mobility, they'd rather just hire new people into positions above you. The recent massive amount of layoffs and turnover should just go to show they don't care about employees at the bottom of the ladder. This company is not above posting fake reviews or lying to employees and customers so beware what you read (I am aware of the irony). In short, if cellink is a family then I would never talk to (most of) these abusive relatives ever again.
